India has approved 227bn rupees ($2.7bn) for new space projects - but the funding is far from lavish.

Aditya-L1 has been travelling towards the Sun for more than four months since launch on 2 September.

From making history at the Oscars to landing on the Moon - viral moments that had Indians talking.

Isro says the return of Chandrayaan-3's propulsion module is significant for future manned missions.

The launch was the first in a series of tests ahead of Gaganyaan, India's first crewed space mission.

India's space agency says the Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover have already completed all their objectives.

Scientists tell the BBC that chances of the lander's reawakening are "dimming with each passing hour".

Chandrayaan-3 was dormant during lunar night, but the extreme cold could have harmed its batteries.
